We, the undersigned human rights and civil society organisations, are deeply troubled by the premature release of an inconclusive report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) regarding the Al Ahli Hospital strike of October 17, 2023. Without definitive results, key evidence, or access to the Al Ahli Hospital site, HRW’s decision to publish this while Israel continues its genocidal war including the targeting of hospitals must be questioned.

On 24, 25, and 26 November 2023, 117 Palestinian women and child detainees were released by Israeli occupation authorities as part of a prisoner’s exchange accompanying the start of the four-day temporary truce in the Gaza Strip.

Since Friday evening, Israeli occupation authorities have released 78 child prisoners and detainees who have spent varying periods within the occupation's prisons. This came after a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas in Gaza as part of a truce agreement.

Addameer met today, Thursday, 23/11/2023, along with a group of Palestinian civil society organizations, with the General- Secretary of the International Federation of Journalists, Anthony Bellanger, at the headquarters of the Journalists Syndicate in Ramallah.

Ramallah - Since the beginning of the occupation's aggression against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank on October 7th, Israeli forces have killed more than 13,000 Palestinians in Gaza and over 225 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, most of whom were women and children.
